Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This was my first surgical experience and Dr. Villanustre and his team made it a great experience. I am very grateful. The staff went above and beyond in scheduling me in time for me to heal before my daughter’s wedding. The doctor, himself, is so very talented.

Dr spent very little time with me. (Maybe 5 minutes) . Majority of time spent with assistants. The assistant discussed treatment plan and pre and post op care. Not sure about recommendations until I have procedure, if I proceed..

Dr. Villanestra and his staff were amazing! Professional, caring, knowledgeable, and informative. From the first visit, my consultation, they all treated me like I’d known them forever and were truly genuine in following my recovery throughout. I’d highly recommend Dr. Villanestra … the absolute best at what he does! Would give 15 stars if they let me!!

I found Dr. Villanustre to be extremely caring, friendly, and professional. He gave me his opinion of my situation and allowed me to make the decision for the best course of action since the issue with my eye didn't need immediate attention. I really appreciated that. I was very pleased with the overall care and attention I received.
